about us

QuietStream Financial takes a unique, collaborative approach to building a platform of exceptional real estate and financial services companies. Our team identifies and solves problems that have not been effectively addressed in the market. We have the track record and expertise needed to deliver innovative solutions to every corner of the commercial real estate market. We leverage the latest technology and decades of experience to address the concerns of the modern real estate professional. Our goal is to deliver a portfolio of companies working together to satisfy the needs of our clients, from capital raises and investor management to defeasances and CMBS research.

Our History

Every CMBS loan is written with a defeasance contingency. Not only was that a little known fact two decades ago, it proved to be a cumbersome and convoluted process. In 2000, Robert J. Finlay recognized the complications associated with the process, and successfully orchestrated the first defeasance in the United States. Later that year, he completed the first defeasance in Canada. It was then that Commercial Defeasance emerged as the leader in this new industry and to date, has completed over 7,000 defeasances.

Responding to the ever increasing needs of his client base, Mr. Finlay expanded the size of his professional team and the scope of the support they would offer commercial real estate investors. They added corporate entities that addressed underwriting, commercial funding, legal document organization, data sharing among brokers, investment listings, turn-key commercial website design, and more.

In 2013, all of these support services were brought together under QuietStream Financial, allowing commercial real estate investors to engage one company with the capabilities of responding to a host of investing needs.

Our goal is to become the primary resource for all investors and the sole provider of multiple, interconnected platforms which address both the current needs of the real estate investor and contributory concepts many investors have yet to consider.
